Data literacy is the ability to read, understand, interpret, and communicate information derived from data, including recognizing trends, evaluating sources, and drawing sound conclusions. Organizations increasingly train employees at all levels—not just data specialists—in data literacy so they can make informed, evidence-based decisions in their roles. It encompasses skills like understanding basic statistics, interpreting charts, and questioning data quality or bias.
