Coming Home with a Heightened Sense of Fairness

The 2019 Hays Asia Returnee Report conducted by Hays Asia showed that Malaysians who have studied or worked overseas usually return home to be closer to their families.The report said the biggest challenge that most employers face in recruiting such candidates is a mismatch in expectations in terms of offer packages. This plays into a larger issue of the brain drain problem in Malaysia and has adverse effects on its pull to draw talent or build talent in the country.We speak to Dr. M. Niaz Asadullah, Professor of Economics, Universiti Malaya on his thoughts of what will prevent Malaysians from coming back to work.
