On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Ralf Tomandl, COO of HR for Health, live from Thrive Live 2026 in Las Vegas. Ralf shares his journey through the dental industry, from his early days with 1-800-DENTIST to helping bring technology-driven HR solutions to dental practices across the country. He and Mark discuss why HR is often overlooked by practice owners, how state-by-state compliance differences can create major risk, and why employee handbooks, onboarding documents, time tracking, PTO, licensing, and CE management should not be handled manually.
Ralf also breaks down common HR pitfalls, including W-2 versus 1099 classifications, wage and hour claims, remote employee requirements, documentation around performance issues, and the importance of creating a workplace where team members feel supported, protected, and more likely to stay.
