hi,ok i got the answer...actually i was refering field employee name as 
 Employee_name__c but instead of using '__c' i should have used '__r' as it has master detail relationship with contact.Thanks

So, there is no records listed on your custom pages? My suggestion is, make sure your query is returning a record. Try to querying from workbench or you can add this to your code: system.debug("EmplyeeTopicRating Size:" + ratings1.size());

Thanks ricky,I think my querry is not returning any records. But why, is it something wrong with it. I am a newbie here so please help me out.

Since it was custom object and custom controller I can't check it on my salesforce org. But here is some suggestion:
1. make sure this
cont = [Select Name From contact Where Id = :acctId];
is valid and returning values.
2. make sure this cont.name variable is returning any values.
where Employee_name__c=:cont.name

cont.name retrieves the proper record field

Try your query in workbench.
