Alibaby Group Holding Ltd has suspended several staff following an employee's allegations on the company's intranet that she was sexually assaulted by her boss and a client.

The woman, who did not reveal her identity, alleged that her boss coerced her into going on a business trip with him to meet one of her team's clients in the city of Jinan, about 900 kilometres from Alibaba's headquarters in Hangzhou.

CCTV footage she obtained from the hotel showed that her boss entered the room four times over the course of the evening, she added. Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang responded to the uproar late on Saturday on the company's internal message board, according to a person who saw the post, though the company did not officially disclose the material posted on its intranet .

"Starting from me, starting from management, starting from human resources, everyone at Alibaba must empathize, reflect, and take action."
