Nothing wrong with spontaneously hugging at work to relieve stress, assuming that all parties understand the purely Platonic meaning of the act (after all, we're grown-ups). I also tend to close my (less serious) working emails with stuff like "Love, kisses, [Name]" — and no one ever got offended by that, albeit the majority of my team would probably dislike some random bearded guy actually kissing them. Awkwardness is in the eye of the beholder. Working with adults (with no serious mental health issues) alleviates the need for a prohibitive, mildly disgusting CoC, like the one discussed in this thread.
