Ferhan G Sağın and Robert A Harris of Nature have identified ways that institutional leaders can make the academic workplace happier and healthier. They discuss how academic workplaces have changed at a greater pace than academic culture and assert that improvement is possible if academics speak openly about the current challenges being faced. In particular, they highlight five practices that must become standard practice in academia: mandatory leadership training, anonymous reporting, cultural climate audits, the use of well-being as measure of success, and accountability that goes beyond academic reputations and CVs.
