Consider Option C: Ethical fitness testing programs should be voluntary and emphasise wellness rather than punitive measures

  • Ethical workplace fitness testing should be voluntary and focus on supporting employee wellness rather than being used for punishment or discrimination, respecting autonomy while still promoting health.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Mandatory testing may create resistance and resentment, and improvement depends on program quality and follow-up interventions.
  • B is incorrect: Holistic fitness testing can provide broader health insights beyond specific job tasks.
  • D is incorrect: Reducing insurance costs may be a benefit but should not be the primary purpose, which should be employee wellbeing.
