Teambuilding gone bad.

The Backstory: Naked Friday proves a hit at marketing firm

.....Ailing design and marketing company onebestway, in Newcastle upon Tyne in northern England, were convinced by a business psychologist to get their gear off for Naked Friday in an effort to boost team spirit. Psychologist David Taylor told The Sun that going naked would allow the team to lose their inhibitions and talk more openly and honestly with each other. "Inviting an organisation to go naked is the most extreme technique I've used," he said.
.....nearly all of the staff turned up in their birthday suits on the day – except for one man who chose to wear a posing pouch and two women who kept their underwear on. Front-of-house manager Sam Jackson told The Sun: “It was brilliant. Now that we've seen each other naked, there are no barriers. "We weren't put under pressure. If we wanted to come in clothed or in our underwear, we could. But I love my body and wasn't ashamed."

Part of my job is to keep up with the HR news -- this came in today. My first thought -- Is there some sort of English April fools day in July?

How do you even present such a thing? What does the Policy look like on this one.
