  I believe the code below should work. This code assumes you are on a single entry page or within a loop and your entry is available to you with the `entry` variable. You may need to adjust the `block.type` name and `block.employees` entries field name to match your proper handles. I've added comments inline to clarify each step:
  
  ```
  {# Loop through your Matrix Field #}
  {% for block in entry.contactMatrix %}
  
      {# Check to see which type of block you have.  You only want to check for the employees entry field if you are within the contact block #}
      {% if block.type == 'contact' %}
  
          {# See if your employees entries field has more than 1 entry #}
          {% if block.employees|length > 1 %}
  
            {# Output HTML for blocks with multiple employees #}
  
          {% else %}
  
            {# Output HTML for blocks with zero or one employee #}
  
          {% endif %}
  
      {% endif %}
  
  {% endfor %}
  
  ```
