Manpower Inc., one of the largest providers of temporary employees in the world, has launched an employment law blog (or blawg) at www.manpowerblogs.com. The blawg even includes some singing of "employment law sing-a-longs." The blog is written by Mark Toth, the North American chief legal officer for Manpower. BizJournals reports that the goal of the blog is to be fun, engaging and educational.
Toth dresses like Elvis, sings an employment law rock 'n' roll anthem and asks interactive questions in what he claims is an effort to encourage companies to pay more attention to employment law.
"Don't get me wrong. I like attorneys. I am an attorney," Toth said. "It's just that I'd like to help companies avoid paying lots of money to attorneys unnecessarily."
The blog is designed to "make employment law fun and engaging, but educational at the same time," Toth said.
The music and humor make this blog a lot more entertaining than what you might have been expecting to find on an employment law blog. Some of the music entries can be found here and here. There is also a video of a fictional interview that includes a "multitude of errors committed by an HR 'professional' conducting an interview." There is a contest running where people can try to find all the errors committed by the HR person in the video.
