Having worked with Keri and Kelly previously, I respect them immensely as both highly talented in HR and incredibly resourceful in supporting business needs. When I launched my own firm and learned that they had formed Abbracci Group, it made 100% sense to me to outsource our HR needs to them. This allows for us to tap into their expertise when and how we need it and make quick adjustments as we scale. High trust, high skill, and complete objective support is what I get when working with these professionals. I’m blessed to have found them at such a critical time in our business and I look forward to using their resources as we grow. I’m excited to call Abbracci Group our HR partner!

Surrounding ourselves with the right partner in all facets of our business has been pivotal to our success—partnering with Keri and Kelly has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. They’re knowledgeable, resourceful, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Abbracci Group has been an outstanding strategic HR partner!

If you want traditional and safe HR consulting, keep clicking, this isn’t it. But if you want to accelerate your business and leadership skills while working with a ridiculously talented and slightly zany executive, you’ve found the place.

I worked with Keri when I was a Regional VP for a Fortune 500 company. I was immediately struck by her mental horsepower; she’s truly brilliant. She helped me navigate some significant change with my organization. (And when I say significant, think about taking a 65-year-old business model, ripping it to shreds, and trying something completely new for the first time.)

Keri helped me effect change within my region, while helping me manage up effectively into the organization. She gave me valuable insights into my own way of thinking, and how it could apply best both up and down the organizational chart. Most importantly, she kept me sane throughout a very challenging process. Beyond her intellect, Keri’s biggest strength may lie in her ability to adapt the messages she so ably gives.

Whether it’s a difficult and direct message, a hilarious metaphor, or a “where did that come from?”–type reference that hits the spot, she has the ability to be memorable in a typically normal world. Talk to Keri. You won’t forget it.

I’ve been in sales, operations, and leadership roles for over two decades. Throughout my career, I’ve interacted with thousands of HR professionals at all levels across the globe and in all capacities, from internal partners to clients to mentors and beyond. In 2011, I delightfully stumbled upon an HR unicorn and met a businessperson who demonstrated a level of excellence and intelligence exponentially above the rest: I began working with Keri Ohlrich.

Keri is a fiercely results-oriented, strategic business leader who also happens to possess HR expertise. Her creativity, objectivity, compassion, and acumen tirelessly drive business results, and I proudly share that because of Keri’s incredible contributions, the teams I led, and I, myself, achieved results we never could have without her partnership.

I have had the pleasure of working with Abbracci Group for the past year and prior to that, I worked directly with Kelly and Keri for several years at a global organization. They are the best HR team out there. They understand the importance of people and are the experts when it comes to building a solid HR foundation and structure. Their passion and excitement for culture, people and HR is best in class. If you need HR guidance or support, Abbracci Group is the organization with which to partner! Hands down, best in the business.

Keri and Kelly were unbelievably helpful when we wanted a new approach to enhance skills of our global HR team at CGI. They took time to learn about our organization and tailored materials to our specific needs. This specialized attention helped connect the framework to an audience with multiple HR backgrounds and experiences.

HR Warrior Workshop is a thought-provoking program that left the HR Team inspired and ready to apply their newly learned skills immediately. The workshop provided personal growth opportunities and demonstrated the most critical competencies Human Resources Professionals must have if they expect to gain trust, respect and true business partnership from their peers in other functional groups. This workshop would be perfect for VP’s of HR or CHRO’s joining new organizations who want to establish expectations and introduce their vision to the Human Resources Department.

Since launching our leadership training program, we’ve seen much better teamwork throughout our organization. From hearing employees offering real-time feedback to one another, to employees living our core values, we appreciate the approach Abbracci Group took to understand our organization and create the custom learning program that was right for us.

Abbracci Group brings a much needed adjustment to the realm of human resources and personnel development, removing the negative stereotypes and misconceptions of the industry.

Today’s environment requires new ideas and methods in order to challenge, encourage, and champion people while balancing the needs of running a business.

Their performance and professionalism impressed and gained the respect of the people involved in the HR function of my organization, their skill set and personalities earned them the trust of my employees, and their contribution to my organization has been significant. Besides all of that; they are nice, fun people with a desire and passion to help every person and business succeed.

I place a high priority on teamwork and creating an environment where everyone can be successful. The work we did with Abbracci Group gave us the tools and information needed to make significant changes in team structure to strategically align abilities with job functions. My team can’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed working with them.

We were going through a complete re-org and transformation of our Technology group (structure and delivery model).  We needed to identify the right partner that would have full accountability for the overall project plan/execution which included talent mapping (including needs analysis), stakeholder analysis, communication plan (within technology and enterprise-wide), and all change management components. Abbracci Group was fantastic – they completely committed to all aspects of the project and far exceeded expectations. Their expertise coupled with collaborative style resonated with the Technology Leadership team and allowed us to evolve a complicated, matrixed project into an efficient action plan we could execute against without sacrificing anything on detail/content.  A job very well done!!!

We have now worked with Abbracci Group on two projects and we couldn’t be happier. Every step of the way, Keri and Kelly were organized, kept us on track and on plan to accomplish our goals. As CEO I felt like the time and money we invested in working with Keri and Kelly was high ROI and I plan to continue working with them in the future.

Keri and Kelly were a pleasure to work with. They were thoughtful in their approach, taking the time to understand our company culture, and then developed an employee benefits package and total rewards program that delivered significant value to our employees and to the company. Whenever we need help with complex HR projects, they are our first call.

Keri and Kelly were instrumental in providing me the strategic plan to address the needs of my organization. They took great care to make sure I was onboard with and aware of every action taken. From offering assessments to increase self-awareness to conducting coaching conversations and updating processes, the work they did was critical to the success of my business. Their expertise was pivotal in ensuring the proper foundation was in place to allow my company to grow. I’m fortunate to have them in my corner.

Abbracci Group led a pivotal change in our company structure and culture. They asked the right questions to the right people and were able to dive deep very quickly to get to the heart of our biggest pain points, what we were doing right and as well as what we should expand upon. They left us with clear long term and short-term action items that were broken down so that we could take it one step at a time to eventually implement an enormous change in our organization, which affected not only the way our employees feel about our company, but also our bottom line.

Abbracci Group was the perfect fit to help us through the growing pains of a small company that grew way too quick!
Their knowledge of and experience in HR fundamentals as well as their comforting and enthusiastic personalities put everyone at ease. The good and the bad needed to be addressed to obtain a proper analysis of our current HR situation. Abbracci Group understood our challenges and helped us develop a plan to create a stronger foundation and allow for further positive growth. We are beyond grateful for their professionalism and diligent follow through in helping us navigate this process.

Keri and Kelly are very dynamic speakers that are in tune with the HR audience and help brokers better understand the HR mind. We had the opportunity to work with them on various sessions and both audiences were extremely impressed with the takeaways. We look forward to working with them again!

Although most organizations can state their mission, it takes a concerted and brave commitment to identify the roadblocks that can prevent an organization’s leadership team from achieving its ultimate purpose. The Abbracci Group has been a wonderful partner in providing a roadmap for our senior leadership to honestly assess our communication, learning, and management styles. Above all, Keri and Kelly provided the tools for open dialogue that lead to trusting relationships and, ultimately, a stronger leadership team. I can’t thank the Abbracci Group enough for the deep insights and service to our organization.
