Join 3 tables in sql server

SQL Script to create the required tables
Create Table Departments
(
     DepartmentID int primary key,
     DepartmentName nvarchar(50)
)
GO

Create Table Genders
(
     GenderID int primary key,
     Gender nvarchar(50)
)
GO

Create Table Employees
(
     EmployeeID int primary key,
     EmployeeName nvarchar(50),
     DepartmentID int foreign key references Departments(DepartmentID),
     GenderID int foreign key references Genders(GenderID)
)
GO

Insert into Departments values (1, 'IT')
Insert into Departments values (2, 'HR')
Insert into Departments values (3, 'Payroll')
GO

Insert into Genders values (1, 'Male')
Insert into Genders values (2, 'Female')
GO

Insert into Employees values (1, 'Mark', 1, 1)
Insert into Employees values (2, 'John', 1, 1)
Insert into Employees values (3, 'Mike', 2, 1)
Insert into Employees values (4, 'Mary', 2, 2)
Insert into Employees values (5, 'Stacy', 3, 2)
Insert into Employees values (6, 'Valarie', 3, 2)
GO
