What are your options if a financial editor resigns?

An in-house financial editor can often resign without prior notice. Because financial research editing is a small niche, you may find it challenging to find an editor in this situation. You may be worried about your deadlines and the quality of research your firm needs to produce in order to remain competitive in today’s markets. So, what can you do in this situation? 

 

 

Divide Their Work

Once an editor leaves your team, you can try distributing their work among the remaining team. This is one of the best options with no additional costs, but is often not a long-term solution, especially if your business is growing. Additional workload can mean missed deadlines for your team and come at the expense of attention to detail, which can cause reputational damage.

Look for the New Editor

You can try looking for a new editor, but the recruitment process can be lengthy as it is a specialist field. If your firm can manage without an editor for the time required to recruit a new one, this is a valid course of action. However, even once hired, you will need to dedicate time to on boarding and training your new editor. It can take a few months for a new editor to become a productive member of your supervisory analyst team.

Outsource the Service

One of the most feasible options is outsourcing the work to a specialist financial editing firm. With the help of such a firm, with editors that are pre-vetted, experienced and available at short notice, you can pay only for the work you need done. You won’t have to go through the expensive and time-consuming recruitment process, nor dedicate resources to training and setup, with editors ready on-demand.

Do You Know What You Don’t Know

What does an editor do? Is it just run spellcheck and hit send? If only it were that simple… One of the things editors do is try to make sense of complex sentences. Often authors will come up with a sentence that makes perfect sense in their mind, but when the words hit the page the meaning is obscure to the reader. The editor’s job is to make that sentence comprehensible. The editor must therefore spend time and effort trying to parse the meaning. For example: “You don’t know what you don’t know you don’t know.” This sentence features at the end of the book The Hidden Half by Michael Blastland. Is it gobbledygook or is there some meaning in there? Let’s analyse what it means. There are three “you don’t know”s and a crucial “what” on which the whole sentence hangs. Let’s start with “You don’t know”. Will the FTSE100 go up or down tomorrow? You don’t know. There is no uncertainty in this. Hundreds of years of stockmarket movements tell us with certainty that predicting the movement of

My Editor Has Resigned What Are My Options

If your editor has resigned out of the blue, it’s only natural to feel under pressure. With competing deadlines and large volumes of research to get through, the loss of an editor can cause major problems – including scheduling gaps that need to be quickly filled. In this piece, we look at the options available to you when an editor resigns. 1) Redistribute the work Redistributing the previous editor’s workload is the quickest and lowest-cost option. You don’t need to recruit anyone new and the problem is solved quickly. If you have the resources to cope with the workload, this is the most feasible option. However, this might affect your team. Given that most reports are time-sensitive, it could increase pressure on your other editors, especially in results season. If your team is already struggling to devote enough time and attention to their own work, the quality of the output overall could suffer. 2) Hire a new editor On paper, hiring a new editor sounds like the most sensible optio
