Mom Corps Houston President, Meera Naehr, is proud to describe Mom Corps as a community of people wanting to create "responsible flexibility".

So, how does one manage mommyhood with working in “corporate America” or attempt to re-enter the workforce after being a stay at home “Mom CEO (Chief Everything Officer”? Mom Corp to the rescue! Allison O’Kelly founded the staffing company in 2006 with its purpose to show women (and men) how to re-enter the workforce armed with options. At its core, Mom Corps focuses on flexible staffing placements and specializes in consulting with companies to help them understand how to use flexible staffing solutions in their organizations to meet evolving business needs and “to build loyal, productive and cost-efficient teams”. Mom Corps re-defines “flexibility” by showing moms and companies how to utilize alternative work methods as it relates to time, place, and duration. In terms of time, employers are shown how to implement modified hours, modified work weeks, or get the most of highly qualified part-time employees. With regards to place, methods of telecommuting are explored. And with duration, companies are guided in ways to effectively use permanent, temporary, project-based, and seasonal workers.
