Health literacy traditionally refers to the motivation, skills, and ability to find, understand, evaluate, and use health-related information for self-care. International research shows that nearly half of all adults in Europe report inadequate health literacy, which can lead to poorer health outcomes and lower societal wellbeing and prosperity.
At VitaCor International, we take this concept further by focusing on fostering health-literate organisations. We believe that health literacy isn't just an individual responsibility, but an organisational priority. Health-literate leadership helps prevent common workplace challenges such as burnout, toxic corporate cultures, and leadership loneliness. By developing self-awareness and building environments where leaders and teams thrive, organisations can create lasting positive impacts on employee wellbeing, engagement, and performance.
