Harris Dowell Fisher &
Harris, L.C. partner
George L.
Lenard is the creator and editor of
George's
Employment Blawg, one of the premier weblogs, or
blogs, in the area of human resources and labor and
employment law.
(A blog is a
web site consisting of periodic entries, or posts,
normally in reverse chronological order. Posts are
date and time-stamped, with the newest post at the
top of the page, and reader comments often appearing
below it.)
George is joined in this
employment blog
project by
Michael Harris (no relation to
Michael F.
Harris of this firm), who is a professor of
Management at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Michael has a Ph.D. in Industrial & Organizational
Psychology and teaches Human Resource Management
courses. His publications include a textbook,
Human Resource Management: A
Practical Approach.
Between them, George and Michael
generally post
at least one new human resource, employment law,
or other employment-related item a day, so this blog is
ever-changing.
George's Employment Blawg
is
written in non-technical language for a wide
audience including business owners, executives,
human resource managers, lawyers, students, and
professors, all sharing interests in a broad variety
of employment-related issues.
George says: "We try not to take ourselves too
seriously, and are not above occasional lame efforts
at humor and judiciously irreverent criticism of
powerful
targets such as lawyers, courts, and government agencies."
George's Employment Blawg has
received significant accolades, including a
favorable
PowerBlog Review in the Small Business Trends
blog and inclusion in
Master Blogs,
A Guide to Outstanding Blogs.
Anita Campbell of
Small Business Trends writes: This blog manages to
stay focused on a niche, yet covers a wide range of
employment-related issues that appeal to both
lawyers and non-lawyers alike. . . .
I love the way this blog lets the personalities of
the writers shine through. The tone is
conversational. It often has humor interspersed.
The blog is not above the occasional civilized rant,
either, as in [a] post where George takes on a very
legal institution -- class action lawsuits -- and
undresses them down to their skivvies . . .
This blog is George's personal
project, and the opinions and views expressed in it
are not necessarily those of Harris Dowell Fisher &
Harris, L.C. or its attorneys. (For that
matter, Michael's views are not necessarily
George's, and vice versa.)
So come join George and Michael and
stay informed by visiting George's Employment Blawg regularly
