Is there a way that I can return all columns in the 'Employees' table and contatenate the Firstname and Lastname columns without having to list all individual columns? Is the query below the only way to do it?

Select Firstname +' '+ Lastname, Department, Salary, StartDate From Employees

its the only way. else you can use this

Select Firstname +' '+ Lastname, * From Employees

but this will still include Firstname , Lastname columns also after concatenated result
