I count 8 in your list, not 5.

Your paragraph is filled with generalizations and current buzzwords/phrases. I hope all of them are understandable by others as well as you. It's not clear they are, though, because they are all so vague and cliche-ish.

The last sentence is especially vague:
It is vital also because of market globalization and workforce diversity.
What is "it"?

How does "market globalization" affect YOU INDIVIDUALLY?

What does "workforce diversity" mean to YOU INDIVIDUALLY?
