Here's one way you can split a comma delimited list using For XML:

SELECT w.workid, w.name, 
  STUFF((
   SELECT ',' +  E.Name AS [text()]
    FROM  (
      SELECT A.workid,  
      Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS EmpId
      FROM  
      (SELECT workid,  
       CAST ('' + REPLACE(employees, ',', '') + '' AS XML) AS String  
       FROM  work
      ) AS A 
      CROSS APPLY String.nodes ('/M') AS Split(a)
    ) A 
    JOIN employees E ON A.EmpId = E.Id
    WHERE WorkId = w.WorkId
    FOR XML PATH('')
  ), 1, 1, '') AS Employees
FROM work w
