Introduction: For selecting the company, for my research work the names of many companies came to my mind, but I selected Accenture Company because it has a successful HR Practitioners taking care of the emerging challenges that occur in the internal and external environment. Accenture is a consulting management company and firm that extend in providing digital, consulting, technological, strategies and operating services globally. It was originated in Ireland in 2009; its net revenues reported $39.6 billion in the year 2018, serving in 200 countries or more with a workforce of 459,000. The purpose of selecting the same topic for the research work because; the company is dealing with a huge work force and is successful dealing with the emerging challenges of internal and external environment by adopting the strategies of getting agile and will help me in analyzing my research report, the company has faced a certain level of challenges also while dealing with the demographic change, this information of how the company catered with the problem, will help me in framing my research report. The report consists of the external factors that effects the HR planning and is giving an analysis on the potential impact of changing demography on the HR planning and job design of Accenture Company (Hecklau, 2015).
External Factors that affect the HR Planning: There are 4 external Factors that have a direct impact on HR Planning and Job Designing of a company, they are:
1. Economic Conditions: The Company’s HR Planning and the Job Designing depends upon the economic conditions of the market, the planning of job designing considers the economic factor as due to change in the environment it may possible that some service design may become obsolete.  This requires the process of job enlargement for improving and increasing the service quality.
2. Government Regulations: This affects the HRP of Accenture and Job designing a lot as any new introduction or compliance of the government changes the whole pattern of job designing (recruitment, termination, retirement process etc.)
3. Technological Advancements: This affects the process as any new technology adapted by the company requires new workers who could work on the new updated technology and it affects in job cutting also, as the employees who can’t support the new system has to be out of the company. 
4. Demographics: The employees needed to be treated according to the demographics they belong to while designing the job (Collings, 2015).

Effects of changing Demography on HR practices: Demography is the research based on scientific issues about the population (birth rate, death rate, migration from a place, age distribution) of a place. Demographic changes is a major issue of concern for the HRM of Accenture Company, as workforce is getting diverse and because of this the HR of the Accenture Company has a major impact and is forcing the HRM to make changes that are considerable  for managing the management of people. Demography is changing very rapidly and in some countries the change is at a very high pace, the HR Department of Accenture is facing a challenge because of the demography changes as they are the one responsible for hiring, training, managing and retaining every time new team of workers.  As Accenture is a big company, with approx. 500,000 employees working, so there exist many demographic trends that can be emerged and can transform the worker’s profile. The HRM of the company uses different strategies to manage the diverse workforce (culture, age, gender etc.) and for this they have to be agile in getting success in running the organization (Silverstone, 2019).
With the help of the HR Theories of getting to understand the behavioral issues of the work force, 
1. The Company need to Mandate and Mission the change according to the change in demography.
2.
