I really like the Alberta model[1]. Employers are required to give a few weeks notice when firing without cause, and employees are required to give a few weeks notice when quitting without cause.
The notice periods are not excessively long, but they give both parties a chance to prepare for the change. A few weeks might not be enough time to hire a new employee or find a new job, but it should be enough to put together a plan.
The ability to fire or quit without cause seems like the part of 'at will' employment that's most important to economic efficiency, so it's nice to have a kinder system which still includes that.
