SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's recession, retaining productive employees has its tricks. And while bigger companies can dangle in employees' faces perks like free healthcare or beer and game rooms featuring ping-pong and foosball or Xbox, V.I.P. Mortgage – www.vipmtginc.com – takes aim closer to the heart, genuinely hoping to make employees' passions and lives feel more valued and supported.

Examples:

• Just last month, a New Mexico employee biked 150+ miles to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis, and Corporate donated $1,000 to his fundraising efforts.
• In Colorado Springs, employees recently raised more than $1,800 to support Juvenile Diabetes research in support of an employee's son. Corporate pledged $1,000 of this.
• Last spring, the Colorado Springs' branch hosted a Support Our Troops drive and was backed by Corporate's sponsorship of custom t-shirts to hand out to donators.
• Corporate also matched donations raised throughout the company to help rebuild an employee's Texas neighborhood destroyed by wildfires in July 2011.
• And, after losing her hair while battling cancer, the company's founders led the way in shaving their heads, along with a dozen or so fellow colleagues, to show their support.

In five short years, V.I.P. has grown from two to more than 200 people and company culture has been a key in solidifying employees as a family. By supporting employees' not only within the work arena, but in their other endeavors, one begins to feel part of the bigger picture, which leads to company loyalty and retention.
