Map Employee Onboarding Data for REST API

Transforming raw CSV exports from HR systems into structured JSON is a common integration pattern, as legacy exports rarely match modern API schemas. In this challenge, you will process a semicolon-separated CSV from Crestline Financial's Workday system and map it to a REST API onboarding payload. You will learn to declare custom CSV separators in the input directive, use `map` to transform rows into structured JSON objects, and import `dw::core::Strings` to normalize inconsistent text.
