HealthLit4Workplaces
Supporting workplaces to be responsive to the health literacy needs of staff and clients.
Many workplaces now recognise the value of supporting their employees’ health and wellbeing with regards to productivity, staff retention and reduced costs related to ill health and injury. This has resulted in investment in a range of workplace health and wellbeing initiatives.
However, in Australia, three out of every five people have difficulty finding, understanding, assessing and acting on information to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. This means, around two-thirds of people participating in workplace health and wellbeing programs may not be experiencing the full range of benefits these programs offer.
Workplaces that build individual health literacy skills and understanding and reduce or remove environmental health literacy barriers will maximise the impact of health and wellbeing activities in the workplace and beyond.
HealthLit4Workplaces is designed specifically to meet the health literacy needs of workplaces, whether the ‘workplace’ is a whole organisation or a structural or functional unit within that organisation (e.g. a team, office, department).
With two distinct elements – a workshop and facilitator support – there’s a HealthLit4Workplaces option for every workplace.
