Which one is grammatically correct? (client defections vs clients' defections)

[Arathi]

Hi,

Can anyone help me in underatanding, which one is grammatically correct sentence.

It has been proven that most clients’ defections are due to unsatisfied employees sitting at the client touch points.

OR

It has been proven that most client defections are due to unsatisfied employees sitting at the client touch points.

Thanks,
Arathi.

Hi,

Both suggest the same thing. In the second example 'client defections' you have simply turned the noun 'clients' into an adjective.
