Comment and Recommendation

The document discusses several issues related to hiring foreign workers in Malaysia and proposes some solutions: 1) Employers need to be more transparent in their hiring processes by advertising open positions locally first and prioritizing local workers to fill them. Government intervention may be needed to create laws enforcing this. 2) Employers should offer higher wages to attract local workers to jobs currently filled by foreigners, especially low-level positions that many unemployed local middle-educated workers could fill. 3) Local workers will need to be open to different types of jobs, not just those they prefer, and be committed to working diligently like foreign workers to address labor shortages. Addressing issues that cause high burnout rates

Transparency in hiring workers. Employers need to be transparent in hiring employees by advertising


the needs of employees and prioritizing local workers. In this case, government intervention is
needed in drafting laws to ensure that this is happening.

Higher wage payments. Employers need to be more considerate in offering higher wages without
excessive profits. This can attract local workers to venture into jobs that are now full of foreign
workers. Based on the unemployed number of middle-educated people, it is not difficult for them to
work in the low-level jobs currently employed by foreign workers.

Changes in the minds of local workers. In the face of rising cost of living, they are supposed to
change their mind set so they do not choose jobs. For example, jobs in the manufacturing and
services sectors are capable of being done by local workers. Foreign workers should be restricted to
agricultural and construction jobs that require heavy energy that local workers cannot afford.

Committed to work. Local workers need to be more committed to work in tandem with what foreign
workers can do. They need to understand the concept that work is a trust that needs to be done well
and effectively.

Foreign workers may have high burnout rate

Nearly half of registered foreign workers come from Indonesia, followed by Nepal and
Bangladesh, the rest from countries like India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Philippines and Vietnam.

They may not be loyal to only one company. That means they may change their job often
because of a few factors or leave the country when they have enough money or their already
achieve their objective. The problem is due to some factors including language barrier, being away
from family and friend, having to cope with an entirely new culture, feeling of isolation, not getting
days off, having their salaries cut, not being fed properly.

The study found that unfair compensation (41%), unreasonable workload (32%), and too
much overtime or after-hours work (32%) are the top three contributors to burnout,” the Fast
Company article says. “Employees also felt overburdened due to poor management (30%), having no
clear connection to corporate strategy (29%), and a negative workplace culture.
