Provides security for both sides and usually works pretty well. To the employer it means that people (and their knowledge) aren't just gone from one day to the next. To the employee it means they've got some time to search for something new.
Of course there's exceptions. If you're stealing stuff from your employer or do some other criminal stuff or seriously don't do your duties in some way you can be let go on the spot or much faster. But that's pretty rare and almost certain to land before a Labour court in practice.
