This chapter explores how ageing employees contribute to intergenerational interaction in an organization from the organizational aesthetics perspective. The data is obtained using interviews with professionals who work at a municipal nursing home designed for older people. Qualitative analysis methods were based on the aesthetic categories of ugliness and grace. As a result, I present a positive example of how ageing employees’ sensitivity and ability to create powerful stories supported the whole work community’s interaction and courage to act.
