A group of office staff have discovered they work better together when they are NAKED.

Workers at design and marketing company onebestway in Newcastle upon Tyne stripped off at the encouragement of their boss, who thought the move would boost business.

The ailing company had seen six redundancies since the start of the credit crunch when business psychologist David Taylor was brought in to boost team spirit. In the buff: The workers at onebestway took a week to steel their nerves for Naked Friday

Not ashamed: Sam Jackson said she felt 'totally comfortable'

The event, dubbed Naked Friday, was deemed a huge success and is even credited with turning around the firm’s fortunes.

This is a great idea for our Senate.

This is a great idea for our Senate.

ACK! I GOT A VISUAL!!!

[Bigh4u2]

Even then we wouldn’t get the ‘naked’ truth out of them.

Life imitating art

[Perdogg]

the women are not bad looking.

[camle]

one wonders who would do business with a firm who beleives that this type of stupidity is good for business?

[MARTIAL MONK]

I’ll bring the donuts.

The West has become decadent. This is a sign of the decline of civilization.

Why weren’t they suggesting this years ago? 25 years ago, I was working in an interior design office populated mostly by women; many of the designers were drop-dead gorgeous. I would have paid to work in that office at that time.

"This is a great idea for our Senate."

Noooo. That group is in a lot better shape than most of the Senate.

This looks like something from the British version of The Office or maybe something from Punked.

At many work places that would force people to keep their eyes on their computers and not look around the office.

The number of articles written at Helen Thomas's news room would triple. However many would look like this:

asf k;uopwo 32988u xioc
alkxlm, mhgiouoi akol akiekc
as no one would dare open their eyes at all.

This is a great idea for our Senate.

But a bad idea for their chairs.

I’ll bring the donuts.

I will NOT ask you to pass me one.

Self importance leads to self indulgence, which leads to self destruction.

[thesearethetimes...]

LOL!

Debbie Stabenow au naturel.. AHHH!!!!!

[Savage Beast]

I’m sure it encourages esprit de corps, but I’m afraid I’d have trouble concentrating on work—not to mention putting the moves on the babes. I think I’m better off compartmentalizing.

[lovecraft]

Gives new meaning to Casual Fridays.....

"paid to work in that office at that time."
