In turn, the country has garnered interest from international businesses looking to move into the region especially in the technology and industrial sectors. As these companies set up shop, they are looking to hire talent with niche, technical and digital skills. With the outbreak of COVID-19, Malaysia experienced limited export growth in the first quarter of the year due to its close business partnerships with Mainland China. This led to a revision of its economic forecast by the World Bank, moving from an outlook of 4.6% GDP growth to 4.5% as of Feb 20206. When the virus began to spread throughout Malaysia, the government ordered a nationwide lockdown beginning March 18th. Though this pause in productivity will impact the economy throughout the first half of the year, the stimulus package passed by the government should help keep the economy afloat, and it is expected that GDP growth will rebound in the near future7.Once workforce productivity is back to normal in Malaysia, the rapid pace of Industry 4.0 adoption is expected to resume, with automation driving transformation across many sectors, as well as driving up demand for tech-savvy job candidates.获取更多最新资料请加微信y o u z i c m s 6666RGF Salary Watch: MalaysiaThe combination of the minimum wage increase that was put into place by the government in February 2020 and the very quick spread of COVID-19 that led to a movement control order has significantly impacted Malaysian businesses. These factors have certainly driven company stakeholders to be more cost-conscious, and leaders have learned and leveraged the current situation to restructure their businesses and adapt to the new norm.Because of the rapid changes that have been made to combat the global pandemic, the economic outlook for the region has changed drastically for the first time in many years. This means employees may not receive the annual salary increment they are accustomed to, and job seekers may not be offered compensation packages as per market practices in the past.Whats more, the volatility of the market has led to a slowdown in hiring as well as hiring freezes though the job market will pick back up eventually, it could be quite so time before companies feel secure enough to bring in new employees. Because of the sudden economic downturn, the Malaysian government introduced the Prihatin Rakyat Economic Stimulus Package (ESP), a series of short-term measures meant to help ease the financial burdens of Malaysians and the business community.The outbreak will change careers and the lives of many of us for the foreseeable future, therefore we anticipate the employment market and what are considered hot jobs will be skewed towards sectors that will help the business community adapt to the new norm. Because of this, it is likely there will be a rise in the need for new skill sets that include specialized knowledge and experience in sophisticated technology such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data analysis.New Wage Regulations are Great for Employees, Worrisome for Employers”Ai Ling LeeManaging Director,RGF Executive Search Malaysia获取更多最新资料请加微信y o u z i c m s 6667RGF Salary Watch: MalaysiaSeeking Senior ProfessionalsAs industries across Malaysia digitize and begin moving toward reindustrialization, companies are in need of senior management professionals with experience leading transformative business efforts. Though most industries are being impacted by the governmental shift in focus to digitize, industries such as finance and automotive manufacturing are particularly important to the economy, requiring not just process transformation, but workforce transformation, as well. Because of the need to upskill and reskill employees alongside implementing new technologies, workflow processes and best practices, many companies are looking for candidates with a wealth of experience in business transformation and knowledge of the local market.Additional Benefits Employees Look forHowever, compensation includes more than just a salary and talent in Malaysia want to work for companies that offer the following benefits10:PROFIT-SHARING SCHEME SUCH AS STAFF EQUITY PERFORMANCE-BASED BONUSESGUARANTEED REMUNERATION, SUCH AS A FIXED BONUS AND ALLOWANCEEmployees Salary Increment Expectationswhen they change employers9.32%80%53%74%Employers Annual Salary Increment Range8%8Key Trends(Data given was collected by RGF before February 2020)获取更多最新资料请加微信y o u z i c m s 6668RGF Salary Watch: MalaysiaJob Market Trends获取更多最新资料请加微信y o u z i c m s 6669RGF Salary Watch: MalaysiaTalent TrendsWhen candidates in Malaysia are evaluating whether or not to accept an offer, they look at much more than just the salary offered. Whats more, Malaysian talent rate the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills as slightly more important than salary, which comes in as the second most important factor in considering a job offer. In addition, they also consider the position title and responsibilities, whether or not they can grow with the company, the type of leadership style and the level of work-life balance they would be afforded. Employers looking to both attract and retain talent would be wise to offer a healthy mix of these benefits in compensation packages11.Job Market TrendsMoving toward Industry 4.0After launching a national policy on Industry 4.0 in November 2018, Malaysias manufacturing industry has been working to digitize and automate its processes in order to reach the nations goals of becoming an Industry 4.0 hub for Southeast Asia, increasing sustainability efforts and increasing GDP per capita as well as higher skills-based employment opportunities12. As companies move toward meeting this goal, advanced technologies such as Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning are being adopted in order to automate processes and increase productivity, leading to the need for businesses to upskill their workforces and seek out talent with knowledge and experience in engineering, data analysis and robotics.67%65%47%SALARY INCREMENTTITLE AND RESPONSIBILITIESEXPAND KNOWLEDGE & SKILLSAI Scientists with 810 years of experience working at large local companies earn up to USD63,000 annually in Malaysia.Digital Transformation Engineers with 35 years of experience working at large local companies earn up to USD24,000 annually in Malaysia.获取更多最新资料请加微信y o u z i c m s 66610RGF Salary Watch: Malaysia10Combatting the Talent CrunchAs Malaysian companies adopt increasingly sophisticated digital tools, including Industry 4.0 operations such as automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things, businesss talent needs are two-fold: first is for experienced professionals with specialized tech skills, and second is to upskill the current workforce.To assist with upskilling, the Malaysian government has partnered with General Assembly to help candidates develop their skill, especially in the realm of digital skills15.
