EmployeeInfo employee = employeeInfoList.Values.ToList();

the ToList() method returns a List object, but you are trying to assign it to a single employeeInfo object.

Dictionary<string, EmployeeInfo> employeeInfoList = new Dictionary<string, EmployeeInfo>(); 
    employeeInfoList = EmployeeInfoProxy.GetAllEmployeeInfo(TenantId); 

    if (employeeInfoList != null) 
    { // assuming you really only want the first one.  What if GetAllEmployeeInfo() returns more than one employee???
      EmployeeInfo employee = employeeInfoList.Values.FirstOrDefault(); 
      ViewData["Department"] = employee.Department; 
      ViewData["Designation"] = employee.Designation; 
      ViewData["Address1"] = employee.Address1; 
    }
