Beijing News Shell Finance News Alibaba chairman and CEO Zhang Yong posted a post on the Alibaba intranet in the early morning of August 8, expressing his feelings about the alleged violation of a female colleague by an Alibaba employee in shock, anger, and shame. He also said that he must investigate clearly and give an explanation to all Ali students and the whole society.
Zhang Yong apologized in his post on Ali's intranet for his indifference and failure to deal with the matter at all levels. Although the police are still investigating, Ali internally believes that the matter has not been promptly responded to after employee feedback, and there are major problems. Zhang Yong said, "Starting from me, starting from the manager, each of us must have deep touch, reflection and action!"
Last night, Alibaba's independent investigation team led by Jiang Fang also issued the first internal announcement. The investigation team believes that the relevant supervisors and HR have insufficient empathy and major mistakes in judgment, and they should conduct a serious review and serious reflection. The investigation team also announced that, in addition to the suspected male employee being suspended for police investigation, a total of 4 first-level and second-level supervisors and first-level and second-level HRGs of the employee were also suspended to cooperate with the internal investigation.
