Studies show that happy employees are more productive and at Lionesa Business Hub, that belief is lived, not theorised.
According to research from the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, happy workers are 13% more productive. Other studies, such as those published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, reveal that regular social moments in the workplace can reduce burnout and strengthen belonging.
At Lionesa Business Hub, these statistics aren’t just numbers, they take shape every day through initiatives that connect people and nurture a thriving business ecosystem.
The most recent example? The Magusto Roast Party.
On 6 November, the campus welcomed around 2,000 members of its community, proving once again that work and celebration can coexist in perfect harmony.
Throughout the day, the scent of roasted chestnuts drifted across the open spaces, encouraging breaks, conversations, and spontaneous encounters between colleagues from different companies.
As the afternoon turned into evening, the Central Corridor became a cultural and social hotspot, hosting an afterwork celebration that merged tradition with modern energy.
The infectious folk rhythms of Amigo Simão and the urban beats of DJ Pette set the tone for a night where music, laughter, and teamwork came together naturally.
Between games of Jenga, Darts, Ring Toss, Tic Tac Toe and Limbo, friends, colleagues and teams played, laughed, and challenged one another — strengthening bonds and building a stronger sense of belonging.
More than just an event, the Magusto Roast Party embodied Lionesa BH’s philosophy: that people’s wellbeing is a competitive advantage and a true driver of collective success.
These moments reaffirm the Hub’s mission as a living, collaborative space — one that helps businesses create more human, creative and sustainable workplaces.
“More than an office space, we’re a home for our people — an ecosystem that grows with them,” says Patrícia Sousa, Community Manager at Lionesa Business Hub.
By the end of the day, there were chestnuts, music, and laughter — but above all, there was proof that at Lionesa Business Hub, productivity is born from human connection.
