I believe professional development includes progression planning. That is key to building an organization's solid foundation. Depending on the size of the organization with available funds a mutual agreement on cost and time involved needs to have a plan put in place. In my experience it was more difficult to get a time commitment than a financial commitment.
Don't know..My nonprofit is all about learning and helping folks cope with having cancer (NO one likes to talk about the colon!) Believe it in capital letters!!
My professional development comes from many years (in Boston) as a Crohn's survivor--yep lost a whole lot of small gut! then as Board member/VP and office volunteer (only Exec director was a paid person in the 70's!!!)at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts , the Board of Crohn's & Colitis Foundation and later as Development officer for a Medieval Castle on the ocean North of Boston (raised a lot of money) 1st marriage there,too;-) put on my political boots, went to Washington and visited Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill...my Dad's closest friend growing up together in the 'Olde' neighborhood! & for ways to qualify for larger grants. Bricks & mortar. PR to make folks want to see the home of the Inventor of Radar (things/stuff) right there on open ocean
professional development in the early 70's was limited primarily to the arts. I was doing my Masters in Ed at BU..took classes as Harvard in development of the arts.Got married before I finished that! ;-(
This is short form on how...we'd have to talk via phone to see what your needs and future plans are in Development...too many folks think only of money in sight...not the needs of the people they shall be dealing with, etc
As your question stands, it encompasses a tremendous area, and in order to address it, in all fairness, the areas need to be broken down a bit. Development can be expensive, but it is a necessary part of planning. Programs should be in place for ongoing events, seminars, trainings, self-growth options, etc.
Professional development should be part of the Human Resource cost. If you have a budget of over a million then 2%. If its less then it should be somewhere between 3-5% depending on the area that you are in.
I am a solo practioner - so I combine work travel with pleasure when I can. I spend maybe $2500 a year if that much. I often pick in-town seminars to get my CEUs and pay $600 or so, not including losing $$ when I'm off work. When I worked for a large physical therapy firm, we got $1200 per year, and paid the difference if we wanted more.

At least 10%. Especially for nurses in healthcare

It depends on the size and nature of your organization.
PS under 20% and that if you have plannable income to depend on

Personally, I’d stratify it and let those who really want to excell rise to the top. That said, start with low cost in-services.
