48% of Augmented Tech Teams Face High Attrition, Study Finds
Everest Group's 2024 report reveals that 48% of augmented teams experience annual engineer turnover exceeding 25%, costing clients up to $96,000 per year in lost productivity. The churn stems from staffing firms optimizing utilization over client satisfaction, rotating engineers to higher-paying engagements. This creates a cycle of knowledge loss, reduced team cohesion, and declining project quality.
