While female executives were found to have higher compensation than comparable men, the results indicate that women hired externally receive less than those hired internally, and as such may be disadvantaged by the external labour market.

The results suggest that work life balance has a stronger incentive effect than reward and performance policies, and this was found to be the case across both men and women, although it was a greater incentive to women.
