This default behavior can be overridden by using the ELEMENTS XSINIL keyword phrase.

Similar to this: Columns that Contain a Null Value By Default - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]

SQL

SELECT EmployeeID as "@EmpID",   
       FirstName  as "EmpName/First",   
       MiddleName as "EmpName/Middle",   
       LastName   as "EmpName/Last"  
FROM   HumanResources.Employee E, Person.Contact C  
WHERE  E.EmployeeID = C.ContactID  
  AND  E.EmployeeID=1
FOR XML PATH, ELEMENTS XSINIL;
