If i've understood your question well, you are looking for this:

>>> import csv
>>> employees = [
...     'name1-surname1-place1',
...     'name2-surname2-place2',
...     'name3-surname3-place3',
...     'name4-surname4-place4',
... ]
>>> with open('out.csv', 'w') as out:
...     writer = csv.writer(out)
...     for e in employees:
...         writer.writerow(e.split("-"))
... 
>>> 
>>> 
host:~$ head out.csv 
name1,surname1,place1
name2,surname2,place2
name3,surname3,place3
name4,surname4,place4
