In addition to offering coverage for gender-reassignment surgery, IBM has created a webcast on the topic of gender identity and expression that features transgender workers talking about their experiences and answering questions from other employees. The webcast is available to all IBM employees worldwide, IBM executive Silvy Vluggen tells The Advocate.

Fortune 500 company Johnson & Johnson provides coverage for gender-reassignment surgery as well as mental health counseling.
