Android install apk programmatically

Is it possible to install an apk programmatically in the background or does the user have to accept the installation.

My scenario is that I want my employees to all have the same set of applications installed.

Of course they can install applications by them self, but I want them all to have at least some applications installed.

I'm not talking about installing applications from the market.
