If you've been told that you give really great hugs, there's a job out there for you and it pays really well.

Team Tactics, a corporate events company, is launching Cuddle a Co-Worker workshops and needs people to lead the sessions, offering to pay up to £30-an-hour, or nearly $40 USD.

Cuddling is known to release the happiness inducing hormones Serotonin and Oxytocin, which can help people unwind and destress.

The professional cuddlers will lead groups of four to 20 people in team building exercises to "help employees across the UK become more connected with their colleagues," according to managing director at Team Tactics Tina Benson.

Would you be ok with a hug from a stranger? What about a full on cuddle session? What benefits do you find from cuddles?
