Attention = How some perceive Attention can = Retention

I understand and agree with the Attention = Retention. However, I know some schools (staff and faculty) worry about blurred lines between student and instructors and staff. How would you establish within the school community that it is okay for faculty and staff to have these kind of interactions. I work in an environment with few male students and my ATTENTION (a smile, a "How are you today?" or "Stop by so we discuss ....") can be misunderstood just as much or worse by faculty and staff than by the students.
