One way virtual worlds can be used is by companies are innovating the virtual community Second Life that allows businesses to have their own meetings on their computer networks according to the article " Going to the virtual office in Second Life". In another article they used the virtual world in hospitals. "In Avatar 2:The Hospital", Stephanie Simon states that "its part of an online simulation designed to help nurses make quick, sure decisions in emergencies."
Some Pros are that it has better privacy and protection from public networks and could encourage more companies to take up this technology.
Some Cons are that these employees will have to take the extra time to learn how to use these virtual worlds. The real life workplace conversation is much more realistic and better to communicate.
In the future i feel that a lot more companies will do a trial and error with the virtual world to help improve their own systems.
