Purpose – The aim of this paper is to investigate the research landscape of metaverse in employee training by conducting a thorough bibliometric analysis and systematic review. This will help identify notable scholars, intellectual communities, and areas for future research in the field of metaverse and employee training.

Design/methodology/approach – A comprehensive review and bibliometric analysis were conducted on the global body of literature pertaining to the subject of employee training and the metaverse from 2013 to April 29, 2024. From the Scopus database, 266 English-language documents were taken out. R studio and VOSviewer are the software used for bibliometric analysis.

Findings – The study revealed eminent writers and research teams making substantial contributions to the area of metaverse-based employee training. Gaining insight from their contributions and research paths can be very beneficial for joint projects and future study. The results show that many different businesses, including technology, healthcare, education, and retail, are implementing metaverse-based training approaches. This variety shows how adaptable metaverse platforms can be to meet different training requirements.

Practical implications – The study's practical implications underscore the potential advantages of integrating metaverse technology into employee training initiatives, which span from improved learning outcomes to greater competitiveness and skill enhancement. Organizations can use the study's findings to inform strategic decisions that will maximize the metaverse's transformative potential for workforce development.

Originality/value – The research is innovative since it examines a novel subject, using a bibliometric technique, adopts an interdisciplinary viewpoint, identifies important themes and trends, and offers stakeholders useful consequences. The research advances knowledge in the field of metaverse-based employee training by challenging the current situation system and providing fresh perspectives.
