I don't know anything about XML Convert, but
here's the Omnimark commands you need to achieve this:

FIND [ANY EXCEPT WHITE-SPACE]+ => F1
         [ANY EXCEPT WHITE-SPACE]+ => F2
         ANY-TEXT+ => F3 "%n"

         OUTPUT "<employee attribute1='" || F1
                 || "' attribute2='" || F2
                 || "'>" || F3
                 || "</employee>"

(Note: this has not been tested!)

A Perl script would also get the job done.

Hope this helps,
