Fitness testing is only meaningful if it's reliable and actionable, so it's not the place to start a health and wellness program.

So what, now what?

Top tips if you're convinced fitness testing is right for your department:

*Make sure it's proctored by a credentialed and competent professional who can explain not only the testing process but also the results.

*Ensure that steps are in place to create action on the results. A candidate tests poorly on the strength tests? Who is going to mentor them so they can improve?

*Do not treat testing protocols as a box-checking exercise.
