How can we load apps without creating an Apple ID for each employee?

We have at least two apps that we'd like to distribute to our company iPads. We would like to hand the employee the iPad with everything loaded. We don't care if they create their own Apple ID and manage it after the fact but when the employee gets the iPad, it should have the apps they require.

How do we load these apps without creating an Apple ID for each employee? If we load the apps from App Store with our Apple ID, the app requires that username and password whenever there is an update. The employee can not update the app without our username and password or they have to delete and reinstall the app with their own credentials. Is there a way to load an app so that it doesn't require the credentials of the person that loaded it whenever there's an update?
