Brain drain is a global phenomenon that can undermine the economies of both developed and developing countries. Brain drain refers to the migration of skilled workers from their homelands to reside in other countries in search of better employment opportunities and a higher standard of living. Research shows that among regions affected by brain drain, the English-speaking Caribbean (ESC) is ranked among the highest in the world. Brain drain has impeded the ability of ESC firms to recruit and retain skilled workers and, hence, to maintain their global competitiveness. This author argues that by not providing adequate organizational support, ESC managers and policy makers are contributing to brain drain. Based on a systematic review and realist synthesis of 56 studies, this study found that ESC managers and policy makers have not provided the amount of organizational support necessary to enhance their employees' commitment to the firm in order to reduce turnover and brain drain. This study identifies interventions that managers and policy makers in the ESC could implement to alleviate brain drain. This study found that although financial constraints preclude the implementation of some strategies, there are non-financial interventions such as collaboration between the public and private sectors, and mentoring, that ESC managers and policy makers can employ to mitigate the impact of brain drain in the region.
