Welcome!
I’m Amanda Malcolm — an established HR leader and Prosci-certified Change Practitioner with 20+ years of experience and a proven ability to integrate HR, project, and change leadership into a single, effective approach. I help growing businesses and HR teams turn strategy into execution by providing both big-picture thinking and hands-on support to design and deliver people-first solutions that drive real results, whether you're building from the ground up or refining what already exists.
Tailored & Culturally Aligned Solutions for Organizations of All Sizes & Stages
I partner with all types of organizations, including:
🔹 Small businesses needing expert guidance without an in-house HR team
🔹 Scaling companies building HR from the ground up
🔹 Established organizations refining their people & HR strategies
Solutions for People Challenges
I lead organizations in addressing their people challenges, such as:
🔹 No established HR framework (policies, templates, processes) that enable consistency
🔹 Unclear or unexecuted people strategy that stalls progress
🔹 Rapid growth without the HR structure to support scaling
🔹 Lacking or outdated people programs that don’t reflect culture or needs
🔹 Lack of clarity, readiness or leadership when implementing an HR system
🔹 Organizational change requiring strategic, people-focused leadership
Elevating People Strategies
I help build strong, people-focused workplaces through:
🔹 Creating comprehensive HR frameworks – policies, templates, handbooks
🔹 Conducting HR audits – assessments that surface risks, gaps, and opportunities for improvement
🔹 Designing and refining HR organizational structures – aligning roles, processes, and systems
🔹 Developing innovative HR/people programs – onboarding, performance, development
🔹 Leading people-focused projects – anchored in strategic change management
🔹 Implementing HR systems – scalable and sustainable technology solutions
🔹 Partnering at senior level – serving as a trusted extension of the leadership team
NextPhaseHR offers a true partnership rooted in trust, authenticity, and impact. I prioritize
your best interests, delivering real value with care and expertise. Whether optimizing HR frameworks, enhancing programs, or leading transformation, I help you confidently navigate
your … next phase.
Core Values
Authenticity. Trust. Impact.

🔹 Trust – Trust is the foundation of every successful partnership. My clients count on me as a true extension of their leadership team, and I take that responsibility seriously. I build trust by delivering on my commitments, communicating with transparency, and creating a space where leaders feel safe to be open. With honesty, discretion, and integrity, I help you navigate change with confidence.
