Lakeside is more than just an attractive business campus; it’s a community of collaborators, marketers, entrepreneurs, recruiters, creating new business every day. Home working has its advantages but it’s onsite where opportunities occur. Here are seven reasons why it’s great to be back in the office.

COLLABORATION – Lakeside is the perfect place to meet new contacts as it’s home to FTSE 250 companies, local start-ups and SMES. With its first-class facilities, you can breakout in the Business Lounge, converse in a cafe, or just relax in style. Conference rooms are available for more formal occasions.

NO ZOOM GLITCHES – Wi-Fi wrecking your team meeting? No more meddling with mute! Discuss your latest project in person without any technical difficulties. Conversations flow better when people are sat together, too. And you won’t need to worry about the state of your spare room: nobody’s going to see that pile of ironing.

CATCH UP OVER COFFEE – Skinny lattes all round! No more crisp sarnies hunched over a laptop. It’s time to catch up with colleagues and enjoy some downtime. Choose from a range of food outlets such as the Hub across the campus.

CALORIE BURNING – You burn around 102 calories an hour just by sitting at your desk. That’s 714 calories a day. Shed even more by exploring Lakeside’s stunning site. Take a walk around the lake and admire mother nature in full bloom. Challenge your team mates to a game of table tennis on the terrace. Why not walk your team through your latest strategy by taking a stroll together? While a mobile meeting won’t be suitable for every occasion, it’s a great way to boost everybody’s circulation. Increased circulation results in increased energy. The perfect way to beat that mid-afternoon slump.

COMMUTE – Nobody likes being caught in traffic, but there are benefits to commuting. For a start, you have time to reflect on what you learnt that day. Harvard Business School conducted an experiment with IT workers and concluded that thinking improves performance. Two sets of employees were studying for their final exams. But only one group were asked to consider what they learnt and note it down each day. When the results of the exams were announced it was revealed that the ‘reflection’ group had performed 22.8% better (on average) than their ‘non-reflection’ colleagues.

Great news if you use public transport! A study in Taiwan found that people who travel by bus or train were 15% healthier than their car-owning counterparts. Here’s a link to the Lakeside bus timetable (just in case you want to leave your car behind tomorrow).

WORK-LIFE BALANCE – The problem with home working is that it’s too easy to lose track of time; there’s no train to catch, no parking meter to feed. Before you know it, you’re neglecting your nearest and dearest by never logging off. In the office it’s easier to manage your time more efficiently as there are places to go and people to see.

There are great events to enjoy too! Street Food Thursdays, Lakeside Live are just two highlights of the summer 2021 calendar. Take time out to eat out with live music on the side.

HOME SWEET HOME – Your home becomes your private hideaway once more. When you walk through the front door it’s time for food and fun! Oh, and that pile of ironing in the spare room.

FINAL NOTE – Are you anxious about returning to the office now that life is returning to normal? If so, you could have ‘re-entry fear’: ‘the impending dread stemming from having to let go of social distancing measures and reintegrate into a noisy, social world.’ Don’t suffer in silence as there are organisations available to help. At Lakeside, wellbeing is key. A healthy community is a productive one! Social distancing measures remain in place; face coverings are encouraged as per the government’s guidance. The cleaning team continue to sanitise each of our five buildings. Please speak to our friendly front of house team at reception if you have any questions.

A new green travel solution has launched at Lakeside North Harbour today as part of an e-scooter trial across Portsmouth.

The launch of the Voi rental e-scooter trial is a partnership between Portsmouth City Council and Solent Transport, aiming to support residents and visitors in replacing short car rides for an environmentally friendly option.

Simon Bateman, Lakeside North Harbour Asset Manager, commented: “Connectivity is key to our campus, so we’re delighted to be part of the e-scooter trial that has launched across Portsmouth today. Our occupiers are increasingly looking to utilise green travel options, and we’re pleased to be able to offer a new initiative that can help to reduce commuting times, support the environment – and it’s fun too! As we see an increase in the number of people returning to the office over the coming months, we know that the e-scooters will be a popular choice at Lakeside.”

100 e-scooters are available to rent across Portsmouth, with parking racks at 17 locations, marking where journeys can start and end. These are located at Cosham, Paulsgrove, Hilsea, Drayton and The Hard Interchange, amongst others – ensuring that Lakeside is perfectly positioned to support occupiers and visitors who wish to choose green travel.

To keep Lakeside safe for all visitors and occupiers, a reduced speed limit is in operation across campus, with the Voi rental e-scooters only able to use specified cycle paths.

The detail

• E-scooters are available to rent between 6am and 10pm.
• Users need to be 18 years old and over and have at least a provisional driving licence, which they will have to upload to the Voi app when they first register.
• The app is available for free on Apple App Store or Google Play.
• Voi rental e-scooters will cost £1 to unlock and then £0.20 per minute of usage. Voi also offers 24-hour (at £10) and 30-day (at £40) subscriptions, allowing users to take an unlimited number of 45 minute rides at a fixed rate.

For further information about the trial, please visit: travel.portsmouth.gov.uk/rentalescooters

*Privately owned E-scooters are not permitted on the Lakeside grounds.

CALORIE BURNING – You burn around 102 calories an hour just by sitting at your desk. That’s 714 calories a day. Shed even more by exploring Lakeside’s stunning site. Take a walk around the lake and admire mother nature in full bloom. Challenge your team mates to a game of table tennis on the terrace. Why not walk your team through your latest strategy by taking a stroll together? While a mobile meeting won’t be suitable for every occasion, it’s a great way to boost everybody’s circulation. Increased circulation results in increased energy. The perfect way to beat that mid-afternoon slump.

COMMUTE – Nobody likes being caught in traffic, but there are benefits to commuting. For a start, you have time to reflect on what you learnt that day. Harvard Business School conducted an experiment with IT workers and concluded that thinking improves performance. Two sets of employees were studying for their final exams. But only one group were asked to consider what they learnt and note it down each day. When the results of the exams were announced it was revealed that the ‘reflection’ group had performed 22.8% better (on average) than their ‘non-reflection’ colleagues.

Great news if you use public transport! A study in Taiwan found that people who travel by bus or train were 15% healthier than their car-owning counterparts. Here’s a link to the Lakeside bus timetable (just in case you want to leave your car behind tomorrow).

WORK-LIFE BALANCE – The problem with home working is that it’s too easy to lose track of time; there’s no train to catch, no parking meter to feed. Before you know it, you’re neglecting your nearest and dearest by never logging off. In the office it’s easier to manage your time more efficiently as there are places to go and people to see.

There are great events to enjoy too! Street Food Thursdays, Lakeside Live are just two highlights of the summer 2021 calendar. Take time out to eat out with live music on the side.

HOME SWEET HOME – Your home becomes your private hideaway once more. When you walk through the front door it’s time for food and fun! Oh, and that pile of ironing in the spare room.

FINAL NOTE – Are you anxious about returning to the office now that life is returning to normal? If so, you could have ‘re-entry fear’: ‘the impending dread stemming from having to let go of social distancing measures and reintegrate into a noisy, social world.’ Don’t suffer in silence as there are organisations available to help. At Lakeside, wellbeing is key. A healthy community is a productive one! Social distancing measures remain in place; face coverings are encouraged as per the government’s guidance. The cleaning team continue to sanitise each of our five buildings. Please speak to our friendly front of house team at reception if you have any questions.

Lakeside is more than just an attractive business campus; it’s a community of collaborators, marketers, entrepreneurs, recruiters, creating new business every day. Home working has its advantages but it’s onsite where opportunities occur. Here are seven reasons why it’s great to be back in the office.

COLLABORATION – Lakeside is the perfect place to meet new contacts as it’s home to FTSE 250 companies, local start-ups and SMES. With its first-class facilities, you can breakout in the Business Lounge, converse in a cafe, or just relax in style. Conference rooms are available for more formal occasions.

NO ZOOM GLITCHES – Wi-Fi wrecking your team meeting? No more meddling with mute! Discuss your latest project in person without any technical difficulties. Conversations flow better when people are sat together, too. And you won’t need to worry about the state of your spare room: nobody’s going to see that pile of ironing.

CATCH UP OVER COFFEE – Skinny lattes all round! No more crisp sarnies hunched over a laptop. It’s time to catch up with colleagues and enjoy some downtime. Choose from a range of food outlets such as the Hub across the campus.
