If it works stuffing 1 column into another, but not with more than 1, then you probably need to do multiple subqueries all enclosed in the main SQL statement; similarly to a CTE.

SELECT * FROM (
--
)

Something like this should work:

SQL

SELECT
    CASE obj.Objective_Status
        WHEN 1 THEN 'Live'
        WHEN 2 THEN 'Draft'
        WHEN 3 THEN 'Completed'
        ELSE 'Obsolete'
    END AS 'Objective_Status',
    COUNT(*) 'Percentage',
    CASE obj.Objective_Status 
        WHEN 1 THEN 2 
        WHEN 2 THEN 1 
        WHEN 3 THEN 3 
    END as OrderOfObjectives
FROM 
    Objectives as obj with (nolock)
WHERE 
    Exists
    (
        SELECT 1
        FROM @empObjectives As EO
        CROSS APPLY dbo.Split(ObjectivesIDsLive, ',') As ID
        WHERE ID.value = obj.Id
    )
Or
    Exists
    (
        SELECT 1
        FROM @empObjectives As EO
        CROSS APPLY dbo.Split(ObjectivesIDsDraft, ',') As ID
        WHERE ID.value = obj.Id
    )
Or
    Exists
    (
        SELECT 1
        FROM @empObjectives As EO
        CROSS APPLY dbo.Split(ObjectivesIDsCompleted, ',') As ID
        WHERE ID.value = obj.Id
    )
GROUP BY 
    obj.Objective_Status
ORDER BY 
    OrderOfObjectives
;

You might need to change the "value" column name on the three WHERE ID.value = obj.Id lines to match the column name returned from your Split function.

It would be better to change your @empObjectives table variable so that the IDs weren't combined as a comma-separated list.
