Our Performance Awards
XSIGHTS has received several awards and notes of appreciation though our biggest acknowledgement remains the loyalty of our clients. Below are some of the awards we have received over the years:
ESOMAR Foundation Making A Difference Award
Stigmatization is a broad and multi-directional concept which has been receiving increased attention in psychiatric research and policymaking. XSIGHTS’ survey looked at the reasons and consequences of stigmatization of Schizophrenic patients among the general public. The results of the perception survey were largely shared both in traditional and social media, which raised awareness about the stigma against people suffering from this condition. The research was presented in an academic article and was selected for presentation at the Schizophrenia International Research Society Biennial Meeting in 2020. The research provided invaluable insights for The Federation of Schizophrenia Associations which was able to design a program on how to fight stigmatization of this mental illness. Our work informed all decision makers about the necessary policy changes which are required to allow schizophrenic patients avoid living a life of long-term unemployment, poverty, homelessness, exploitation, and victimization, but rather to live a life which is worth living without the heavy burden of societal pressure and rejection. This survey has since been replicated in six other countries thanks to sponsorship from the ESOMAR Foundation and members of its Executive Committee. Çiğdem Penn presented the comparative data at ESOMAR World Congress in 2022 and it is available here.

XSIGHTS received an award for Social Research of the Year for its quantitative research on Women and Equality. The survey focused on the perception of working women among the Turkish general public and outlined the key reasons women opt out of the labor force.
