Yes, you need to know AI, Technology, and Analytics and how they impact HR. And, no matter what is next in HR, you need HR Warrior skills to slay them all! Dr. Keri Ohlrich, who comes with over 20 years of HR and Leadership experience, will define what an HR Warrior is and how to create a team that is in demand by the business. During this interactive and humorous session, Keri will outline the CHARGE (Courage, Humility, Accuracy, Resiliency, Goal-oriented, and Exemplary) model, which reviews the qualities needed to become an HR Warrior. Most importantly, and what is near to Keri’s heart, is discussing actions that the participants can take to become an HR Warrior team. As without action nothing is accomplished. Each participant should leave feeling inspired to be an HR Warrior and have concrete steps on how to accomplish it!

Every HR department needs to be HR Warriors. Period. Dr. Keri Ohlrich, who comes with over 20 years of HR and Leadership experience, will discuss the importance of an HR Department and how the business leaders’ expectations directly impact the work HR can do. During this interactive session, Keri uses humor to talk about lessons learned from the business not having clear expectations for HR and how it negatively impacts engagement and revenue. Lastly, Keri discusses actions that participants can take.
