In a company with a separate Benefits department or Benefit roles, it is crucial the Benefits team works collaboratively with the rest of HR. The interviewer is looking to see if you will share information when it could be helpful to others.

Briefly let the interviewer know you would pass the information along to HR and why. Discuss how it could help the company and potentially even the employee.

"I would reach out to a counterpart in HR to let them know the employee is thinking about or planning to quit. This gives HR the chance to find out what is going on to make the employee want to leave the company and possibly fix the situation and make the employee want to stay. If HR doesn't know someone is unhappy, they can't do anything to make the situation better."
