HR often must turn lemons into lemonade, and with the Supreme Court decision it is now clear that we must work with the PPACA, not work around it. So, how can we use it as a force for good, and not treat it as a government overreach? In this session, we look at the future impact of certain parts of the PPACA on the culture of the organization, and share specific strategies and tactics that can be adapted and implemented. If handled in future-thinking ways, it is possible for the PPACA to have a positive impact on the engagement, productivity and profitability of your organization. You do not have to like the PPACA but this sessoin shows you how to implement it in ways that are beneficial to your organization.

Karl Ahlrichs specializes in helping professionals make order from chaos. He is a national speaker, author, and consultant, presenting on the people issues in all industries, and is often quoted in the local and national media.
Karl’s experience is ideally suited to times of organizational change as he pulls on risk management and organizational development theories to replace “best practices” with “next practices”. He owes much of his communications mastery to working as a writer and editor in daily media, to on-the-job writing experience and to the process of becoming a published author.
He joined Gregory & Appel in 2010 after serving as a founding partner of ExactHire, bringing his HR, operations, diversity & belonging, and learning & development skills with him. Karl’s affinity for design, composition and learning started at a very young age, by taking and examining thousands of boring pictures with the goal of improving his craft. He loves deploying that practice-to-improve approach with all manner of hobbies including writing haiku, mastering cutting-edge technology and learning Spanish.
In 2003, he was named the SHRM Human Resource Professional of the Year for the State of Indiana. He is on the Boards of several organizations, including the Maryland CPA Society. He has lived in Scotland and Spain and lives to explore new experiences with his wife and family.
