Part-time work isn't usually associated with a mark of success in one's career, but a new list has been celebrated to do just that.

The Part Time power list features 25 New Zealanders working in senior leadership roles on part time hours.

List creator Emma Mclean is the founder of a consultancy for working parents - 'Works For Everyone'. She speaks to Jesse.
