WHAT IS AN
ESOP? VGM’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is an employee retirement account funded entirely by gifted company contributions. When the stock value increases, so do the retirement accounts of eligible ESOP participants. Contributions/stock allocations are made on an annual basis and, each year, we celebrate our success during the Employee Owners’ Annual Update.
What does that mean for you? You, as an employee, can earn an annual gift of VGM stock equaling a portion of what you make.
It’s a gift for working hard with your fellow employee owners and making the work that we do great.
In a few short years of work, the stock you continue to earn is all yours, no matter what.

We’re Employee Owners As employee owners, we have a financial stake in our business. That means there’s an inherent, collective push to go above and beyond for the good of the company. That culture―of knowing that what you do every day makes a difference―is one of the many reasons VGM has been consistently recognized as a #1 Iowa Top Workplace and Employer of Choice.

Here’s What Our Employee Owners Have to Say WILL COUSIN • Redstone Content Solutions
At VGM, team leadership is our culture. It’s a place where anyone with vision and drive can step up and make a difference.
KALENA DIEKEN • HOMELINK
I had a patient I grew a strong relationship with. We jumped through many hoops and finally got her the scooter she needed. She called me and told me I was her “guardian angel.” That was the moment I figured out why I am here and doing what I’m doing.
MARIELLYS GUTIERREZ • VGM Fulfillment (PHX)
Without my team, I could not be successful. I have good people around me that make me so happy and grateful.
DANAYA BRYANT • The van Halem Group
We all have an innate desire to belong. VGM’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work provides the picture frame for me to insert my face and know that I belong there.
