Among some of the other changes, Scott said the company would establish an office of diversity and an automated lunch break messaging system that would alert employees to take their breaks on time.

"If 50 percent of the people applying for the job of store manager are women, we will work to make sure that 50 percent of the people receiving those jobs are women," Scott said. "My bonus next year could decline by as much as 15 percent if I don't live up to my diversity goals."

50% regardless of the applicants qualifications?!?

Full details still forthcoming.
