Introduction

Hooray for freedom and confidence! Welcome the first Friday in February, also known as Working Naked Day! What a day to celebrate our ability to work from home, free from dress codes, or even clothing altogether. The day was created by Lisa Kanarek, a home office expert, in 2010 to celebrate the independence and creativity often found when working from home. So put aside your suits and ties, your heels and makeup, and embrace the joy of working in your most natural state! Join us this Working Naked Day in breaking barriers from the comfort of your own home. Let's celebrate the freedom and confidence that comes from embracing ourselves, just as we are!

TIMELINE

Working Naked Day Timeline

Rise of Telecommuting

In 2005, an increasing number of companies in the United States began to offer telecommuting options to their employees, setting the stage for more flexible work arrangements.

Working Naked Day Inception

Lisa Kanarek, a home office and organization expert, established the first Working Naked Day in 2010 to celebrate the freedom and flexibility that comes with remote working.

Yahoo! Backlash

Yahoo!'s CEO Marissa Mayer bans telecommuting in 2013, leading to heated debates about the value and benefits of flexible working conditions.

Telecommuting Mainstream

By 2017, remote work had become more mainstream, with about 5% of Americans working from home full-time, highlighting the growing acceptance of this mode of work.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 forced most businesses to shift to remote work, further entrenching telecommuting as a widespread practice and increasing the significance of Working Naked Day.

GET INVOLVED

How to Celebrate Working Naked Day

Create a Naked Workspace

The first step is to create your naked workspace, an area in your home that's safe, comfortable, and suitable for this mode of working. Whether it's a home office, a cozy corner in the living room, or even your bed, set the stage for Working Naked Day!

PRACTICE

Practice Self-Care Rituals

Celebrate this day by enjoying some self-care rituals. This can be anything from a relaxing shower to a DIY spa treatment. Appreciate the complete comfort and ease of your natural state and allow yourself to relax into the day.

HOLD

Hold a Naked Meeting

If you're feeling brave and your colleagues are open-minded, suggest a ‘clothing optional’ online meeting (but remember to still observe appropriate video chat etiquette!). If that's too much, why not settle for a casual dress code instead?

EMBRACE

Embrace Body Positivity

Celebrating Working Naked Day is also about embracing body positivity. Regardless of your size, shape, or any so-called flaws, see yourself as perfect, just the way you are. Do something that feeds your body confidence, such as practicing affirmations or yoga.

TREAT

Treat Yourself to Comfort Foods

Reward yourself with comfort foods that pamper your taste buds. Make sure to enjoy them steadily throughout the day and appreciate not having to worry about any food spills on your dress or shirt!

WHY THIS DAY MATTERS

Why We Love Working Naked Day

Without the worry of dress codes and clothing restrictions, you can form a workspace that centers on comfort and pleasure. This makes the workday more enjoyable and can potentially boost productivity and creativity in the process.
