How to manage multiple generations in the workplace

The age gap between two employees at Caldwell Trust Co. is huge. So big that the most senior employee was born when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, while the youngest was a baby during the Clinton Administration.

But Lee Thacker Jr., 85, and Sarah Rothenbach, 23, co-exist in harmony at Venice-based Caldwell Trust, which both recently celebrated 25 years in business and surpassed $1 billion in assets under management. “Age is relative,” says Kelly Caldwell, president and CEO. “Old or young, values matter more than age. Do you understand and share our values? If you do, I can find a home for you here.”
