The COVID pandemic impacted the mental health of employees across the globe. Plenty of studies have been executed and published since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, there is a need to provide an overview of the research and thus provide direction for future research. This study utilizes SciVal for a scientometric analysis and evaluates the pandemic’s effects on employee mental health. The research includes a comprehensive literature review from 2018 to 2023, identifying major themes, top authors, institutions, and countries contributing to this field. Key phrases such as Mental Health, Pandemic, Health Personnel, Telecommuting, Well-being, Health Care Personnel and Burnout are identified. Future research should explore the long-term mental health consequences of the pandemic and its stressors. The study is valuable for researchers to understand employee mental health during COVID better.
