But if the sentence is without "always", then it should be

I have worked as hard as I could before.

Does it change the meaning from the original sentence (Never before have I worked as hard as I could.)

When I said "Omit it", I meant "Omit 'before'". You need I have always worked as hard as I could. always is the opposite of never.
