We are excited to announce that Charlotte Harris has been selected to be part of the NZ Part Time Power List 2024.
The NZ Part Time Power List 2024 celebrates 25 influential New Zealanders who excel in their fields while working part-time. This list aims to dispel the myth that part-time work means reduced commitment and showcases how flexible roles can lead to impressive achievements. By sharing diverse stories from various professions, the list highlights the importance of balancing meaningful work with personal life.
You can't be what you can't see, and the hope with this list is that more employers will realise they can create meaningful part-time roles that work for everyone!

A part time position means permission to manage my life commitments in a way that suits me and lets me give my best to each one. For the last 12 years I have worked in a ‘part-time’ capacity but I have never let that negatively impact on career.
Both Abley and my previous employer have supported me to continue to grow. I have been entrusted with executive level & impactful roles, with my employer knowing that by providing some flexibility and latitude in how and when I work, in return my commitment to delivery is never less than 100%. That means some give and take on both sides. I make sure I am clear on my non-negotiables but flex, especially when a deadline looms or crisis hits.
I don’t label my work or role as part time. When I work I am present and committed fully, and when I am with family, friends, dancing, or camping I make sure I give that the same attention.
I would love to see more variety in the way ‘work’ is enabled for everyone – senior, executive or otherwise – we are all different and work differently. Have the courage to seek out a role that works for you.
The list was created by Works For Everyone, which supports working parents, particularly during their return to work.
