OData endpoint, once again, to the rescue:

var contactId = null;
try { contactId = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('mbmhr_employee').getValue()[0].id; } catch(ex) { contactId = null; }
if(contactId !== null)
{
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var url = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/ContactSet(guid'" + contactId + "')?$select=EMailAddress1";
    req.open("GET", url, true);
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
    req.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if(req.readyState == 4){
            var data = JSON.parse(req.responseText);
            // use data.d.EmailAddress1 
        }
    };
    req.send(null);
}

You need to query the server for additional details of related records.

Have a look at Getting started with CRM 2011 JavaScript REST (OData) Web Service Calls and Retrieve Data using OData queries with Javascript in CRM 2013 to get you going in the right direction.
